Description Amuraritei Andrei 2013-05-01 12:09:19 PDT 
Description:
Evolution crashes with this error: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_param_spec_internal: assertion `!(flags & G_PARAM_STATIC_NAME) || is_canonical (name)' failed. When started with LC_ALL=C, all seems to work ok. My system locale is set to Polish. The bug is mentioned in this forum thread:https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1263148. Also gnome online accounts are affected by this - when adding account with Google, Facebook or Windows Live, it crashes.

Also this happens for Romanian locale (ro_RO.UTF8).

Changing locale, or removing /usr/share/locale/pl/LC_MESSAGES/WebKitGTK-3.0.mo, like specified in the bug posted on https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/34926 lets Evolution start correctly using English language.

This is the error message received while starting Evolution in the terminal:

(evolution:22604): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_param_spec_internal: assertion `!(flags & G_PARAM_STATIC_NAME) || is_canonical (name)' failed
[1]    22604 segmentation fault (core dumped)

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/34926 also gives specific information on what's wrong, albeit a bit aggressively.

> Permanent fix: Stab the face of whoever authored the 386th line of Source/WebKit/gtk/webkit/webkitviewportattributes.cpp in WebKit source code. (It erroneously marks a string for translation, which the overzealous and unsuspecting translator picked up.)

and

> Oh, just noticed they also earned it for the 406th line in the same file. (Same problem.) Wonder if there is more.

Trivial grepping shows these are the only two cases.
